Reasons  for  Using  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals: 

Because  they  have  been  more  thoroughly  tried  in  every  section  than 
any  other  Chemical  Compound ;  have  given  better  results;  are  always  the 
same  in  Chemical  Components,  and  are  in  a  mechanical  condition,  easy  for 
mixing,  requiring  no  water  to  dissolve  them,  no  addition  of  plaster  or  salt 
and  weigh  more  to  the  formula  tluin  any  other  brand,  consequently  contain- 
ing more  actual  plant  life. —  Try  them  !

RICHARD  VANSANT,  E:q.,  Mt.  Airy,  Mi,  says  : — Last  rear  I  used  three  tons  of  Fertil- 
izer made  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Wted,  an  1  at  the  same  time  :nd  in  the  same 
laud  as  it  was  applied,  I  used  seven  tons  of  high  priced  phosphate,  which  cost  532.00  a  ton. 
The  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  produced  such  good  results,  that  I  am  using  seven  formulas 
on  my  present  cr^p,  and  advise  all  farmers  to  give  them  a  trial.

JACOB  STITELY  Of  T.»  ESQ.)  Johnsville,  Hi,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of  Powell's 
Prepared  Chanicils  for  Wheat. "200  lbs. to  the  acre,  side  by  side  with  manipulated  fertilizer 
costing  $32  00  a  ton,  and  found  t  le  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  produced  as  good  crops  and 
as  much  ;  he  is  now  tiding  the  Chemicals  exclusively.

JOHN  C.  PARBAN,  Esq.,  Green  Spring,  W.  Va,says:  I  am  more  than  satisfied  with  my 
experience  with  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals]  shall  continue  to  use  them  in  preference  to  other 
fertilizers.

J.  E.  NICHOLS,  Esq.,  Johnsville,  Frederick  Co.,  Va.,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Wheat,  and  it  acted  SO  well,  that  his  tenant  wishes  to  sow  it 
again. 

WHEAT. 

W.  D.  riTSHTJGH,  Esq.,  Brandy  Station,  Va.,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Poicell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Wheat,  and  his  wheat  weighed  63  lbs.  to  the  acre,  and  he  made 
more  per  acre  than  his  neighbors,  who  used  fertilizers  costing  three  times  as  much  as  Powell's 
Chemicals.

P.  W.  FETCH,  E-.q.,  Scottsvil!e,  Va,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of  Powell's  Pre- 
pared Chemuals  for  Wheat,  and  it  proved  to  be  all  that  it  was  recommended  to  be,  and  he  will 
use  again.

A.  A.  DEVILBISS,  Esq.,  Johnsville,  Mi,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of  PowelPs 
Prepa  ed  Chemicals  for  Wheat,  200  lbs.  to  the  acre  side  by  s  de  with  fertilizers  costing  $.34.00 
a  ton,  same  quantiy  per  acre:  results  wis  such  as  to  make  him  use  Powell's  Chemicals 
exclusively  on  present  wheat  crop. 

A  LARGE  REDUCTION  IX  PRICE. 

At  the  earnest  solicit  ition  of  many  large  Farmers  and  prominent  Gran- 
gers, we  have  concluded  to  reduce  our  p  ices  of  Powell's  Prepaied  Chemicals, 
from  $12.00  to  $10.00  per  formula.  This  gives  the  farmer  the  very  lowest 
wholesale  price.  Jt  will  be  observed,  -while  making  the  reduction  in  price, 
we  have  increased  the  bulk  quantity  of  each  formula,  with  a<tual  chemicals 
nearly  twenty-five  per  cent.,  making  our  formula  the  heaviest  and  cheapest  in 
the  market.

To  the  Farmer :  Ba ttimore'  January  lst> 18SL 

In  this  pamphlet  we  have  tried  to  show  perfect  pictures  of  healthy  Plan  (3 
and  Vegetables,  and  to  answer  all  the  usual  questions  asked  us  about  01;  r 
"  POWELL'S  PREPARED  CHEMICALS,"  that  have  become  bo 
deservedly  popular  as  cheap  and  reliable  fertilizing  agents. 

Our  sales  for  the  last  year  have  largely  increased,  and  we  can  positively 
assert,  of  the  25,000  formula?  of  our  Chemicals  sold,  which  represents  25,000 
tons  of  Fertilizer,  there  has  not  been  fifty  complaints  of  their  not  doing  all 
that  was  claimed  for  them. 

We  have  greatly  increased  our  manufacturing  and  shipping  facilities,  an>l 
by  doing  away  with  the  Agency  system,  and  selling  the  Farmer  direct,  ut 
wholesale  prices,  we  are  enabled  to  offer  more  for  the'money,  when  quality  is 
considered,  than  any  other  manufacturers. 

We  would  also  call  your  attention  to  the  "Tip  Top"  Bone  Fertilizer, 
the  Powell  Brands  of  Bones,  and  Bulk  Commercial  Chemicals, 

described  herein,  as  being  worthy  of  your  consideration. 

B@~Please  remember,  we  give  every  branch  of  our  business  our  person ;il

Wheat  Certificates. 

WHEAT. 

C.  W.  HAZEN,  Esq.,  Cattlett's  Station,  Va.,  says,  in  answer  to  your  inquiries 
in  regard  to  the  result  of  niy  experiment  with  Powell" s  Prepared  Chemicals  on  wheat  I  bought 
of  you  in  September.  1878.  I  take  pleasure  in  stating  I  used  one  ton,  iu  the  way  of  experiment- 
by  the  side  of  Bone  Dust  that  cost  $42  per  ton.  Not  having  much  faith  in  the  Chemicals,  I 
closely  watched  the  result:  I  noticed  soon  after  the  wheat  came  up,  the  difference  in  favor 
of  the  Chemicals.  The  final  result  was,  the  wheat  on  which  the  Chemicals  were  used  came 
out  best.  I  Bee  no  difference  in  the  grass  crop  up  to  this  date.  I  was  so  well  pleased  with 
the  experiment.  I  bought  ol  the  same  preparation  in  September,  1879,  enough  to  make  tour  tons 
for  another  experiment.  Used  other  fertilizers  that  cost  mere  than  double  along  side  the 
Chemicals.  The  wheat  on  which  the  Chemicals  was  used  took  the  start  and  looked  better  all 
through  the  season.     At  harvest  that  wheat  was  said  by  good  farmers  to  be  the  best. 

Mr.  Bazen  also  says  he  has  been  using  fertilizers  for  over  twenty-five  years ;  have  been 
experimenting  during  the  time  with  many  different  kinds  of  fertilizers,  and  never  used  any 
kind  that  has  given  him  better  results  than  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals. 

WHEAT. 

J  AS.  and  FRANK  WIVEL,  Esqs.,  King's  Dale,  Pa.,  say.  last  fall  we  bought 
Powell's  Chemicals  enough  for  one  ton  of  Wheat  Fertilizer.  We  sowed  it  aside  of  "ZelPs"  and 
' 'Bruceville, "  the  most  popular  fertilizers  iu  this  neighborhood.  Our  wheat  with  the  Chemi- 
cals is  fully  as  good,  if  not  better,  than  where  we  used  the  $35  Fertilizer. 

WHEAT. 

DANIEL  W.  SNYDER,  Esq.,  Clear  Spring,  Md.,  says,  I  purchased  enough 
cf  Powe'.Ts  Prepared  Chemicals  to  make  three  tens  fertilizer  for  wheat.  I  used  200  pounds  of 
the  fertilizer  to  the  acre  with  the  best  results.  I  am  now  in  the  midst  of  harvest,  and  can  say 
that  my  wheat  is  elegant.  This  Fertilizer,  including  my  labor  in  making,  only  cost  $15  per 
ton,  and  I  am  confident  I  have  as  much  wheat  as  I  would  have  had,  had  I  used  a  fertilizer 
that  cost  $35  per  ton.  I  will  use  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  on  my  wheat  this  fall,  and 
would  recommend  it  to  all  farmers. 


CHEAP    CHEMICALS. 

PRACTICAL  EXPERIMENT  OF  CHARLES  DEVILBISS,  Esq., 

One  of  the  most  Prominent  Farmers  in  Carroll  County,  Md. 

tfT  Which  is  the  Cheapest  — Good  Goods  at  a  Fair  Price;  or, 
Cheap  Goods  at  a  Low  Price? 

New  Windsor,  Md.,  Aug.  27th,  1880. 
Mr.  W.  S.  Powell,  Baltimore,  Md. 

Dear  Sir : — For  two  seasons  I  have  used  your  Powell's  Prepared  Chemi- 
cals on  Wheat,  making  a  perfect  success  with  them.  Last  season  I  used  them 
again,  and  at  the  same  time,  influenced  by  the  cheapness  of  price,  I  was  in- 
duced to  use  oue  formula  of  Messrs.  Baugh  &  /Sons'  $9.00  Chemicals,  which 
they  guaranteed  to  be  as  good  as  yours,  that  cost  $12.00.  Of  the  mixture  of 
Powell's  Chemicals,  applied  at  the  rate  of  175  pounds  to  the  acre,  I  made  a 
good  crop ;  but  with  the  mixture  of  Baugh's  Chemicals,  200  pounds  to  the 
acre,  I  made  no  more  wheat  than  when  1  applied  nothing.  This,  I  think, 
conclusive  as  to  the  relative  value  of  the  two  makes  of  Chemical3.  I  am 
using  yours  exclusively  this  fall. 

Yours  truly,  CHARLES  DEVILBISS. 


Improvement  in  Quality  and  Quantity. 

By  recently  effected  advantageous  contracts  for  raw  material,  we  are  ena- 
bled, while  reducing  the  prices  of  POWELL'S  PREPARED  CHEMICALS, 
to  increase  the  bulk  matter.  This  and  other  improvements  made  in  prepar- 
ing the  Chemicals,  which  does  away  with  either  Salt  or  Plaster  in  the  mix- 
ture, makes  the  "  Powell"  brand  the  cheapest  and  best. 


Corn  Certificates. 


CORK. 

E.  B.  TRENIS,  Esq.,  Cattlett's  Station,  Va.,  says,  that  he  has  tried  the  Fertilizer 
made  from  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  100  lbs.  to  the  acre,  and  considers  it  as 
good  as  the  average  $40.00  Phosphates  sold  in  his  section,  and  the  Chemicals  in  some  in- 
stances have  done  more  for  him  than  the  high-priced  fertilizers.  Used  the  Chemicals  in  the 
hills  of  corn  one  season,  and  think  his  crop  was  doubled  by  their  use. 

cork. 

MARTIN  SNYDER,  Esq.,  Boonsboro,  Md.,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  150  lbs.  to  the  acre  along  side  of  a  $33.00  fertilizer, 
same  quantity  per  acre,  and  considers  the  Powell's  Chemicals  made  as  much  corn  for  him. 

CORN. 

J.  W.  PUGH,  Esq.,  Gray's  Chapel,  N.  C,  says,  he  tried  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  and  he  was  so  well  satisfied  with  the  results  that  he  is 
now  using  it  on  his  wheat  crop. 

CORK. 

THOS.  J.  HETTIN,  Esq.,  Damascus,  Md.,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  300  lbs.,  to  the  acre,  and  received  as  good  results  as  he 
ever  did  from  any  high-priced  fertilizer — was  so  well  pleased  he  is  now  using  it  on  wheat. 

CORK. 

A.  W.  PHILHOTYER,  Esq.,  Boonsboro,  Md.,  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  150  lbs.  to  the  acre  on  thin  slate  land,  some  of  his 
neighbors  using  fertilizer  costing  double  the  Powell's,  and  his  corn  was  as  good  as  any.  Mr. 
P.  left  a  strip  without  any  fertilizer  and  there  the  corn  was  so  poor  it  was  not  gathered. 

CORK. 

NICHOLAS  V.  COLE,  Esq.,  Mt.  Carmel,  Md.,  writes,  saying,  he  purchased  enough 
of  Powell' s  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn  to  make  a  half  ton  fertilizer,  which  he  used  200  lbs.  to 
the  acre,  and  got  better  results  than  from  any  fertilizer  he  ever  used.  Mr.  C.  is  now  using  it 
on  his  wheat,  and  says  he  will  use  it  again  for  corn. 


FERTILIZE  FOR  CORN  AND  SPRING  CROPS. 

As  one-half  of  the  failures  of  our  Corn  and  other  Spring  Crops  is  attribu- 
table to  lack  of  plant  life  during  droughts,  we  cannot  too  strongly  recom- 
mend the  use  of  Fertilizer  in  the  Spring,  as  well  as  in  the  Fall.  POWELL'S 
PREPARED  CHEMICALS  have  paid  well,  when  used  on  Corn,  Oats  or 
Vegetables.  Owing  to  their  cheapness,  a  trial  can  be  made  at  very  little 
expense ;  therefore,  we  hope  all  those  who  have  not  already  done  so,  will  give 
them  a  trial  on  crops  named  above  and  see  if  it  does  not  pay.

Discontinuing  the  Agency  System. 

While  the  discontinuance  to  sell  through  agents,  many  of  whom  have 
assisted  us  in  the  introduction  of  our  Chemicals,  may  be  a  seeming  injustice 
to  some,  we  are  satisfied,  as  our  prices  were  generally  broken  by  agents  work- 
ing against  each  other,  that  the  plan  of  sales  as  now  adopted  is  best  for  all 
concerned.  Every  farmer  gets  the  bottom.  And  in  this  connection  we  would 
notify  the  farmers  that  any  of  POWELL'S  CHEMICALS  offered  under  our 
published  prices  are  not  genuine,  and  that  many  firms,  who  were  once  our 
agents,  becoming  chagrined  at  this  action  on  our  part,  are  working  against 
us.     Pay  no  attention  to  them. 

Corn  Certificates. 

CORN. 

JAMES  T.  MILLING,  Esq.,  Baltimore  Co.,  Md.,  says,  he  has  used  the  Fertilizer 
made  of  PoivelVs  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  and  considers  it  equal  to  any  fertilizer  he  ever 
used,  and  is  confident  from  the  results  they  are  better  than  any  fertilizer  costing  double  the 
money. 

CORN. 

DIETRICH  GLATFELTER,  Esq.,  York,  York  Co., Pa.,  says,  the  Powell' s  Prepared 
Chemicals  for   Corn,  bought  in  the  spring  of  1879,  were  used  on  the  same  field  with,  and  along 

side  of ,  and  several  other  high-priced  fertilizers  of  good  reputation  there,  and  the  corn 

manured  with  the  Chemicals  was  as  fine  in  every  respect,  as  that  grown  with  either  the  other 
fertilizers.  The  advantage  in  cost  is  very  great,  the  Powell's  Chemicals  being  much  the  cheapest 
f©od  Fertilizer  he  has  ever  used. 

CORN. 

JOHN  S.  RIDGELY,  Esq.,  Sinipsonville,  M(l.  says,  this  season,  as  an  experiment, 
I  tried  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  on  my  corn  crop,  side  by  side  with  Manipulated  Fertilizers, 
that  cost  me  $45.00  a  ton.  The  results  are  that  the  corn  on  which  the  Powell's  Prepared 
Chemicals  was  used  is  fully  equal  if  not  superior  to  any  I  have,  and,  I  now  will  use  the 
Chemicals  on  mv  wheat  crop  with  confidence. 

CORN. 

THOMAS  A.  AMOSS,  Esq.,  Fallston,  Md.  says,  he  used  the  Fertilizer  made  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Corn,  300  lbs.  to  the  acre,  and  made  15  bushels  of  corn 
to  the  acre — the  largest  crop  he  ever  made.  From  practical  experience,  Mr.  Amoss  thinks  the 
Powell's  Chemicals  the  best  and  cheapest  fertilizer  ever  made. 

CORN. 

W.  L.  D.  FROCK,  Esq.,  Hanover,  Pa.,  says,  "I  have,  ever  since  I  have  been  farming, 
been  using  "Whitelock,"  or  hen  manure  and  plaster  on  my  corn.  Last  spring  I  bought  a 
ton  of  Powell's  Corn  Chemicals,  and  used  it  on  part  of  my  crop,  putting  the  same  quantity 
to  the  acre  as  of  "Whitelock,"  and  my  com,  where  the  Chemicals  were  used,  was  far  the  best, 
and  all  my  neighbors  pronounced  it  so.  I  intend  planting  my  whole  corn  crop  with  Powell's 
Chemicals  "next  spring,  because  it  pays  me  better  than  any  Phosphate  1  know  of.  The  wheat 
upon  which  my  neighbors  and  I  used  the  Wheat  Chemicals  this  fall  looks  well,  and  every  one 
ie  well  pleased." 

CORN. 

H.  S.  McNAIR,  Esq.,  York,  Pa.,  says,  last  spring,  I  was  induced  to  try  Powell'* 
Prepared  Chemicals,  among  other  fertilizers  which  T  purchased  for  use  on  farms  under  my  con- 
trol in  Adams  County,  and  the  crop  of  corn  raised  where  the  Chemicals  were  used,  notwith- 
standing the  dry  season,  was  much  better  than  that  raised  on  the  same  soil,  manured  with  other 
more  expensive  fertilizers.  The  result  induced  me  to  use  Powell's  Chemicals  on  wheat.  I  was 
struck  with  the  superior  appearance  of  the  wheat  grown  with  the  Chemicals,  looking  finer  than 
that  on  which  sixty  bushels  of  lime  and  six  loads  of  barnyard  manure  had  been  applied  per  acre.

will  make  it  fill  a  demand  made  by  a  great  many  farmers  for  a  cheap  and 
efficient  Fertilizer,  where  they  have  not  the  time  or  means  of  manipulating 
chemicals  successfully.

it  equal  to  any  other  Fertilizer  on  the  market.  He  paid  $60.00  a  ton  for  Guano  that  was  no 
better  than  the  Powell's  Chemicals.

P.  N.  STAINBACK,  Esq.,  Octagon  P.  O.,  Va.,  says,  he  used  on  his 
tobacco  crop  of  18T9,  3  tons  of  the  Fertilizer  made  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Tobacco, 
and  made  as  good  tobacco  as  he  ever  did  with  Guano  costing  from  $50  to  $60  a  ton.

SAMUEE  H.  ROYAL,  Esq.,  Powhatan  County,  Va.,  says,  this 

is  to  certify  that  I  used  Powell's  Chemicals  on  my  tobacco  crop  last  year,  and  whilst  I  did  not 
experiment  at  all,  yet  am  fully  persuaded  that  the  preparation  acted  well ;  I  made  fully  as  good 
a  crop  as  I  usually  do  with  other  Fertilizers.  The  crop,  although  hindered  by  exceeding  dry 
weather,  was  a  fair  average  one,  both  in  weight  and  quality.  It  was  sold  in  the  Richmond 
market,  April  1st,  prices  varying  from  4  to  11  dollars.  I  expect  to  use  these  Chemicals  again 
the  present  year.

WM.  J.  JOHNSON,  Esq.,  Cumberland  Co.,  Va.,  says,  I  used 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  on  my  present  crop  of  Tobacco,  side  by  side  with  (Star  Brand) 
which  cost  me  $50  per  ton.     I  think  your  Chemicals  equally  as  good  as  the  $50  Fertilizer.

Very  often  we  receive  letters  asking  us  if  we  guarantee  our  Chemicals  to 
produce  a  good  crop.  If  the  writers  of  these  letters  would  think  for  a  minute 
they  would  see  it  would  be  impossible  for  us  to  do  this,  as  there  are  too  many 
things  between  seed  time  and  harvest  for  us  to  undertake  to  watch  over  them. 
What  we  do  say  is,  that  fully  25,000  farmers  have  tried  our  Chemicals,  and 
we  have  not  heard  of  fifty  instances  in  which  they  have  failed  to  do  all  we 
claimed  for  them.  We  think  this  statement,  with  lowness  of  price,  and  strong 
recommendations  we  give  from  leading  farmers,  warrants  our  recommending 
a  trial  of  them  to  all.

MOSES  E.  GILLIAM,  Esq.,  Moylcna.  Piinco  Edward  Co.,  Va.,  says,' I  cheer- 
fully add  my  testimony  to  the  efficacy  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals.  I  gave  it  a  fair  test  .m 
my  present  crop  of  tobacco.  On  one  side  of  the  road  which  runs  through  my  plantation,  and 
which  I  regarded  as  the  best  land,  I  applied  250  lbs.  Peruvian  Guano  and  250  lbs.  Bone  Dust 
to  the  acre,  and  on  the  other  side  500  lfts.  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals.  The  crop  on  the 
latter  is  equal  in  every  respect  to  the  former,  and  I  am  so  much  pleased  at  the  result  that  I 
expect  to  use  the  Chemicals  exclusively  on  my  tobacco  crop  next  year.  The  Guano  and  Bone 
Dust  cost  me  $52  per  ton — the  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicalo  cost  me  $15  per  ton. 

TOBACCO. 

F  OBERT  PINICK,  Esq.,  Appomattox  Depot,  Va.,  says,  1  used  Powell's  Pre- 
pared Chemicals  upon  my  tobacco  and  corn  crop  last  season,  1,000  lbs.  upon  my  corn  and 
1,000  lbs.  upon  18,000  tobacco  hills.  I  tried  it  alongside  of  a  Fertilizer  which  cost  me  §50.00 
a  ton,  (The  Anchor  Brand).  I  prefer  the  Chemicals  to  the  $50.00  manure,  even  at  the 
same  price.  I  made  a  fine  crop  of  tobacco  and  corn.  If  I  had  not  have  used  it,  would  not 
have  made  half  what  I  did  make.  I  used  it  this  fall  upon  my  wheat,  and  shall  continue  to 
use  it  as  long  as  Mr.  Powell  keeps  it  up  to  its  present  standard.

CHAS.  H.  GODSEY,  Esq.,  Spring  Mills,  Appomattox  Co.,  Va  ,  says,  I  used 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  upon  my  tobacco  crop  in  the  Spring  of  1879.  1  made  the  best 
crop  of  tobacco  I  ever  made  in  my  life,  although  it  was  the  most  unseasonable  year  I 
ever  saw.  I  tried  it  side  by  side  with  a  fertilizer  which  cost  me  $50  a  ton,  (Turner's  Excel- 
sior). I  used  the  same  quantity  of  Guano  that  1  did  of  the  Chemicals ;  I  could  .-ee  no  difference 
either  in  the  size  or  quality  of  the  tobacco.     I  shall  use  the  Chemicals  hereafter. 

TOBACCO. 

GEO.  W.  ELAM,  Esq.,  Curdsville,  Va.,  says,  I  bought  in  the  Spring  of  1879, 
enough  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  for  the  preparation  of  three  tons  #of  fertilizer  for 
tobacco.  I  used  it  in  a  lot  side  by  side  with  Peruvian  Guano  and  Bone  Meal,  equally  mixed  ; 
I  also  used  it  by  the  side  of  a  Manipulaied  Fertilizer  which  cost  me  fifty  dollars  a  ton,  (Peter's 
Guano).  I  used  the  same  quantity  of  Guano  as  I  did  of  the  Chemicals;  I  consider  the  tobacco 
where  I  used  the  Chemicals  fmly  as  good  as  where  f  used  the  high  priced  manures.  1  used  the 
Chemicals  this  fall  upon  my  wheat  crop,  and  shall  use  them  on  my  tobacco  crop  next  season. 
I  let  one  of  my  neighbors,  Mrs.  Wm.  El  am,  have  a  portion  of  the  Chemicals  I  bought,  and 
she  was  so  much  pleased  with  their  action,  that  she  used  three  tons  upon  her  wheat  this  fall 


FERTILiIlZS   FOR  A  PROFIT. 

Scantily  feeding  Land  is  like  half  feeding  Stock;  it  don't  pay.  Put 
enough  Fertilizer  on  to  insure  a  crop,  remembering,  on  thin  or  moderately 
good  land,  that  not  less  than  250  lbs.  to  the  acre  of  any  Fertilizer  will  pro- 
duce paying  crops.

R.  V.  LANCASTER,  Esq.,  Cumberland  Co.,  Va.,  Bays,  I  bought  enough  of 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  last  spring  for  tobacco  to  make  one  ton  of  Fertilizer.  I  used  it 
side  by  side  with  a  fertilizer  that  cost  me  $50  (Ober's)  per  ton,  putting  the  same  quantity  to 
the  acre  of  each.  I  could  see  no  difference  in  the  Tobacco.  I  am  very  much  pleased  with 
your  Chemicals. 

TOBACCO. 

R.  H.  GILLIAM,  Esq.,  Hixburg,  Va.,  says,  I  used  two  tons  of  Powell's  Prepared 
Chemicals  on  tobacco  last  Spring.  I  used  it  in  the  drill,  principally  on  gray  land.  I  tried 
ten  rows  through  the  lot  on  which  I  used  a  $50  fertilizer  the  (Star  Brand).  I  aimed  to  use 
the  same  quantity  of  each.  I  carried  several  good  farmers  to  see  the  tobacco;  they  could  see 
no  difference  in  it. 

TOBACCO. 

RO.  B.  BASS,  Esq.,  Cunningham's  Store,  Person  Co.,  N.  C,  says,  all  the  per- 
sons I  have  heard  from,  who  used  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals  on  Spring  crops,  say  the  results 
were  the  best  ever  obtained  from  any  fertilizer,  and  they  all  say  they  will  use  it  again.  I  used 
eight  tons  myself,  and  it  acted  finely  on  tobacco. 

TOBACCO. 

JOHN  R.  GILLIAM,  Esq.,  New  Store,  Va.,  says,  I  bought  in  the  Spring  of  1879, 
three  tons  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals.  I  used  two  tons  of  it  upon  fifty  thousand  tobacco 
hills.  I  made  the  best  crop  of  tobacco  1  have  made  for  ten  years.  I  tried  seven  rows  through 
the  centre  of  my  lot  in  which  I  used  a  Fertilizer  (The  Eureka)  which  cost  me  about  forty-two 
dollars  a  ton.  I  used  the  same  quantity  of  Guano  as  I  did  of  the  Chemicals;  I  could  see  no 
difference  whatever  in  the  tobacco. 

TOBACCO. 

WM.  E.  "WOOD,  Esq.,  Spring  Mills,  Campbell  Co.,  Va.,  says,  I  bought  of  you 
Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals,  enough  to  make  three  tons  of  Fertilizer  for  tobacco.  I  used  of 
the  Fertilizer  made  of  the  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals,  250  lbs.  to  the  acre.  I  have  used 
fertilizers  of  different  kinds  for  30  years.  I  have  not  used  any  fertilizer  to  come  up  to  Powell's 
Chemicals.  I  have  the  finest  lot  of  tobacco  I  have  ever  raised.  I  am  so  well  pleased  with  the 
Chemicals,  must  try  them  again.     I  used  the  Fertilizer  in  the  drill. 

TOBACCO. 

JOSEPH  WOOLING,  Jr.,  Esq.,  Fork  Union,  Fluvanna  Co.,  Va.,  says,  I  bought 
in  September,  1879,  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals,  enough  to  make  one  ton  of  Fertilizer  for 
Tobacco.  I  used  of  the  Fertilizer  made  of  Powell's  Prepared  Chemicals,  300  lbs.  to  the  acre. 
I  consider  Powell's  Chemicals  superior  to  any  fertilizer  I  have  used,  and  shall  use  it  in  prefer- 
ence to  any  other. 

TOBACCO. 

R.J.  GOODMAN,  Esq.,  Cumberland,  Co.  Va.,  says,  I  bought  enough  of  Powell's 
Prepared  Chemicals  last  Spring  to  make  one  ton  of  Fertilizer  for  tobacco.  I  used  250  or 
300  lbs.  to  the  acre  on  thin  land.  I  made  a  fine  crop  of  tobacco,  and  am  very  much  pleased 
with  your  Chemicals.     Shall  try  and  use  more  of  it  next  Spring. 


Note  Carefully  the  Following: 


A  CAR  LOAD  OF  POWELL'S  PREPARED  CHEMICALS,  qr  any  other 
Fertilizing  material,  is  not  less  than  20,000  lbs.,  or  more  than  24,000. 

FREIGHTS. — Under  no  circumstances  do  we  pay  freights,  and  the  dif- 
ference in  rates  per  cwt.  on  shipments  of  one  formula  and  a  car  load  is  a 
saving  of  fully  30  per  cent,  on  the  larger  lot,  therefore,  it  is  advisable  for 
farmers  to  form  clubs  and  ship  together.  We  always  get  best  shipping  rates 
possible. 

APPLICATION. — As  the  profits  of  fertilization  is  based  on  the  results, 
we  strongly  recommend  such  liberal  application  of  any  fertilizer  as  will  leave 
no_doubt  in  your  minds — should  the  season  be  favorable — that  a  good  crop 
•ought  to  be  made. 

HOW  TO  MIX.— Mixing  thoroughly  is  half  the  battle  with  composted 
manures.  Mix  in  a  dry,  protected  place.  Seive  your  muck,  ashes  or  earth 
so  as  to  get  all  the  small  stones  out ;  mix  all  the  matter  well  together  and 
pass  through  seive  until  a  perfect  mixture  is  the  result.  This  is  easily  dis- 
cernable  to  the  eye,  and  very  easy  to  do. 

HOW  TO  SEND  MONEY.— Always  send  us  Postoffice  Order  or  Banker's 
Draft  to  our  order,  or  currency  in  a  registered  letter.  If  you  send  us  currency 
by  express  or  a  merchant's  check,  include  25  cents  extra  to  pay  expenses  on 
4ame. 

OUR  PACKAGES  are  always  sound  and  in  good  condition  when  shipped. 
Therefore,  should  they  arrive  out  of  order,  make  application  at  once  to  trans- 
portation company  for  damage  done. 

ORDER  EARLY.— Please  remember  that  the  longer  any  compost  is 
mixed  before  it  is  used  the  more  thoroughly  its  components  will  be  distributed, 
therefore,  we  advise  early  orders,  which  will  always  receive  prompt  attention. 
In  the  middle  and  at  the  last  of  the  season  every  one  is  in  a  hurry,  we  have 
more  than  we  can  attend  to  promptly,  and  some  one  is  sure  to  be  disappointed.

2,240  lbs.  of  the  mixture,  which  he  applied,  300  lbs.  to  the  acre  side  by  side  with  300  lbs.  ©f 
Wilcox  &  Gibbs'  Guano,  giving  each  an  equally  fair  trial,  and  the  compost  of  Powell's  Chemi- 
cals, though  it  cost  only  about  one-third  of  the  W.  &  G.  Guano,  made  one-third  more  cotton 
to  the  acre.     Used  it  on  corn  same  way,  with  same  result.

tilizer, 200  lbs.  to  the  acre,  which  cost  $45.00  a  ton,  making,  he  thinks,  more  cotton  where  he 
used  the  Powell's  than  where  he  used  the  high-priced  fertilizer.

of  a  fertilizer ;  used  it  on  11  acres  of  cotton  with  very  unfavorable  seasons,  got  13  bales,  and  if 
the  seasons  had  been  good  he  is  certain  he  would  have  gotten  seventeen.

Fertilizer  made  of  PotctlT  t  Prepared  Chemicals  for  Cotton,  two  years  in  succession,  he  is  con- 
vinced it  is  the  best  fertilizer  for  cotton,  and  wiil  nse  it  largely  in  the  future;  and  though  tb* 
Mason  was  dry  and  unfavorable,  his  cotton  was  the  remark  of  all  that  sa-^  i ..

ALEX.  W.  COBB.  Esq.,  Shoe  Heel,  X.  c.  says,  he  has  used  the  Fertilizer  made  erf 
PotcilTt  Prepared  Cr.emieal*  for  Cotton,  400  lbs.  to  the  acre,  alongside  of  Whann's  200  lbs.  to 
the  acre — latter  costing  $50.00  a  ton;  and  considers  the  Powell's  Chemicals  superior  to  Whann's 
at  half  the  cost.  Notwithstanding  the  extreme  drought,  the  cotton  where  Powell's  Chemical? 
were  used  fruited  well,  did  not  take  the  rust  like  where  other  fertilizers  were  used.

cheapest  I  ever  used.

Our  Styles  of  Packing  a  Saving  to  the  Farmer. 

Having  had  so  many  complaints  of  loss  in  weight,  owing  to  rough  hand- 
ling in  transportation,  we  have  concluded  only  to  ship  all  our  Chemicals  in 
barrels,  which  not  only  makes  a  reduction  in  freights  on  small  lots,  but  in- 
sures to  the  farmer  he  will  get  all  he  pays  for.

USING  OUR  CHEMICALS. 

Always  stick  closely  to  our  Directions.  We  are  constantly  receiving 
letters  asking  if  some  change,  as  suggested  by  the  writer,  would  not  be  bene- 
ficial ?  We  say  to  all — NO.  If  you  want  to  make  a  success,  try  it  our  way ; 
as  we  have  spent  a  great  deal  of  time  and  money  to  find  out  the  right  propor- 
tion for  successful  crop  production,  and  changes  you  make  will  change  our 
calculations  and  endanger  a  failure. 

Parties  wishing  SPECIAL  FERTILIZERS  for  particular  soils,  should 
write  us  plainly  and  correctly  the  nature  of  the  soil,  when  we  willingly  give 
them  all  the  information  we  have,  and  honestly  recommend  to  them  what  we 
think  they  should  use,  whether  we  have  the  article  or  not.

DIR.EIO  PIOIsTS. 


Stir  thoroughly  from  the  bottom  before  using.  For  priming  use  the  Paint  of 
a  medium  thickness,  not  too  thin  (as  is  often  recommended).  Size  all  knots  or 
sappy  portions.  (Putty  after  the  first  coat.)  The  first  coat  should  be  thoroughly 
dry  before  the  second  coat  is  applied.  Begin  at  the  top  and  work  downwards. 
Do  not  apply  to  a  wet  surface.  Do  not  spread  the  Paint  too  much,  all  it  requires 
is  to  be  spread  evenly.  Use  full  brush  and  light  hand  freely  and  evenly.  Greasy 
places  on  old  paint  kill  with  lime  water.  Use  no  thinning,  if  anything  a  little 
boiled  oil.
